I was asked to write for The College Baseball Blog . I feel it is an outstanding site, and offers more to the the readers and fans that my site alone can.
The type of things I will be writing about will the exact same, however.

Top 5 College Pitchers
Posted in Top 5's on April 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Saved this one for last due to the fact I think it is the hardest list. In determining the list, I considered their likely future role with a club and their current reported “stuff”
1) Aaron Crow, RHP, Missouri
While stats do not say it all – his are almost laughable at this point: 2.05 ERA, 3 [...]
Top 5 College Position Players
Posted in Top 5's on April 14, 2008 | 6 Comments »
** Pedro Alvarez, injury or no injury is the best overall player in this draft. This list is the top 5 after him since he is on another level by himself in my mind. So, I guess this is the top 6 technically.
This is a tough list because of the wealth of 1B. You cannot [...]
Miami Prospects: Weeks/Alonso/Raben
Posted in Prospects on April 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Caught most of the two games today v. Ga Tech
Took video of all 3 guys. Here are my thoughts on each of them.
Jemile Weeks – Not very big, looks smaller in person. Game changing speed. Switch hitter who knows what he is doing at the plate. Did not get himself out once in that he [...]
Top Prospect – Justin Smoak
Posted in Prospects on April 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Smoak played high school ball along with Matt Weiters in Goose Creek, SC – about 5 miles from where I went to college.
I have been able to follow him since his senior year of high school and have seen him play at least once every year, so I feel like I have a good idea about [...]
1st Round Projection
Posted in Draft on April 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, the Miami/ GA Tech game got rained out. I am waiting to see what the weather will do today until I try to back out there.
There have been alot of rumors flying around as the draft approaches.
Jim Callis did a nice job on compiling some prospects who are moving up and down here ( [...]
Top 5 High School Pitchers
Posted in Top 5's on April 9, 2008 | 2 Comments »
It seems to me that the high school pitching crop is taking a little bit of a hit with 2 months to go before the draft. There are no Porcellos, Kershaws, or Parkers in this draft.
I would also like to point out that Peter Gammons wrote an article showing that less than 4% of high [...]
Melville v. Cole
Posted in Prospects on April 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Size:
Cole is 6’3 about 190 pounds. Melville is 6’5 200 pounds. Both are tall, lean pitchers with room to fill out and potentially add some velocity.
Mechanics:
Melville has very good mechanics for anyone, let alone someone who is 6’5. He stays over the rubber well, keeps him balance, and finishes in good position. His delivery is [...]
Top 5 High School Positions Players
Posted in Top 5's on April 7, 2008 | 6 Comments »
The high school position prospects crop has gold in there at the top, but after the top 5 there is not much. There will probably be 5 high school position players taken in the 1st round. Most teams will be grabbing the established college pitchers and position players if I had to guess.
The first thing [...]
Crow v. Matusz
Posted in Prospects on April 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Crow or Matusz, Matusz or Crow? That seems to be the question. Fortunately for comparison sake, the only similarity they really share is they are both studs.
I am not going to get into college numbers when comparing them, because most college numbers are useless. The fact that Matusz struck out 16 against San Fransisco really [...]
